Thursday’s Supreme Court decision to kill a century-old concealed carry gun law in New York state makes all of New York City less safe from the dangers of gun violence, according to Mayor Eric Adams.
Speaking from the City Hall rotunda alongside Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell on June 23, Adams denounced the SCOTUS ruling that struck down New York’s law requiring residents to have permits to carry firearms outside their home. The 6-3 vote has the mayor and other New York officials concerned that the fight against gun violence will be set back years while also putting New Yorkers at greater risk of deadly shootings.
